Vegans are now TERFs?! Here's the barrel, for scraping the bottom of...

[ShotsFired]

From the Hell No, We Won't Go FB page (www.facebook.com/nevergoinganywhere/) which itself linked it from the Everyday Meninism page)

Always wince at the chummy use of the word "folk" in these contexts

As a vegan and all for trans rights I'm a little baffled by this

@doesthislookoddtoyou, sounds legit! I shall become a better person by introducing one or more of the following shortly:

• Centering trans people in hiking trail maintenance
• Transfeminist software architectures
• Gender-fluid financial management tool suites
• Queering assembly line manufacturing

Because some olive oil is made from rapeseed!

That can't be real, it must be a spoof surely?

I'm vegan, feminist and udderly bemused.

I can't believe that men are trying to erase women and that they're going to such pathetic lengths to do so.

Look! Saw this on another thread . Hope has been to a vegan BBQ.

I love Hope. don't do anything to make me regret saying that Hope - you're my go to brilliant trans woman

God in heaven my altitude sickness just got worse..... what next? Trans animals?

It's real. It's an everyday feminism gem.

I also like the one about marginalizing disabled asexual people

And how to centre trans women in reproductive justice

I officially have a crush on Hope Lye.

"7 Ways To Support Me, Specifically, While Pretending This Is A Civil Rights Issue"

Hope Lye does seem like a rather splendid individual isn't the name a little odd though? Does it indicate that hope is a lie? That's a little.... bleak.

Hope is an absolute sweetie. And can colour co-ordinate like a mofo.

The sheer amount of navel gazing in those Everyday "Feminism" articles is truly bewildering!

I linked to the original upthread. It's definitely real, I also linked to the article shared two years before which say exactly what it's complaining about. Gasp! That female animals are abused for their reproductive capabilities and that it's therefore a feminist issue. I seemed to remember a time when EF actually posted articles about women.

Check this out for the sheer bananasness.

My favourite bit of that is:

" I took them to the vet and had to weigh the question: Do I explain their pronouns not only to the vet, but also the front-desk workers, the vet techs, and everyone else we interacted with? "

God forbid that the vet might misgender her cat.

Oh my, it just keeps getting more bizarre and followers are just following along - I read here and Twitter and think to myself 'can you actually hear yourself'?!

Will check out Hope

Fucking hell

I adored many of the comments on that article but I think this was my favourite -

"It" is perfectly acceptable and gender neutral, as in "What is wrong with it?" And "It's beyond help". and, of course, "It puts the lotion on its skin."

But it is the logical consequence of reconstructing biology.

Gender-neutral cats, WTAF?!

They're cats, FFS! Responsible owners have them fixed, whatever the initial genital situation.

They basically remain aloof in the face of excessive human squeeing and will, at rather random intervals - albeit with a noticeable tendency to favour inopportune moments, display excessive amounts of affection and aggressively demand reciprocation.

They're also fucking adorable, although they'll forever keep you guessing whether they actually love you back in any sense deserving of the word 'love'.

Nobody gives a fuck if they're male or female due to the overwhelming abundance of catness they offer.

God forbid that the vet might misgender her cat

Mind you, we don't live in an English speaking country and when I took my cat to the vet recently I had to explain ( / apologise) that I only spoke English. The vet smiled and said "And the cat too? Does she only speak English?"

This reminds me of when a friend of a friend accused me of being racist when I casually observed that all black cats look the same to me.

I think you're all missing the point that it was a kind of experiment to see how uncomfortable people are with transgender issues and it taught her to examine her privilege which is so important

Or it was a self indulgent wank to tie other people up in unnecessary linguistic knots so you can virtue signal till your right hand goes numb.

No need to decide.
